The state transportation agency has learned from its experience with our Devil's Slide tunnel solution to Highway 1 traffic headaches. Caltrans has decided to give up on fixing Last Chance Grade over and over again, and instead plans to build a one-mile-long tunnel through the coastal hillside along Highway 101 in Humboldt County. Former Pacifican Mitch Reid, whose THINK TUNNEL signs and stickers helped win our local tunnel election, now lives in Humboldt and says maybe he should have saved some of those signs and stickers for the tunnel campaign up north.
